Learn To Protect Yourself From Scams

Fellow Delawareans,

No one should have the money and resources they've worked for taken by scam artists and criminals. We are a nation founded on hard work, but, unfortunately, in Delaware and across the country, new families every day are taken advantage of by those who would rather steal someone else's money than earn their own.

I want to help put a stop to this in Delaware. The best way to do that is through education, and ensuring that Delawareans are taking the necessary steps to protect themselves from scams and fraud.

On April 12th, I am partnering with the Federal Trade Commission to host two free information sessions that will help Delawareans recognize scams and make smart financial decisions. The first session will be at the Georgetown CHEER Community Center, 20520 Sandhill Road, from 10:30 a.m. to noon. A second presentation will be at the Delaware Tech Stanton Campus, 400 Stanton Christiana Road, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

The topics we'll cover include identity theft, medical discount scams, credit and loan offers, email fraud, safety in social media, and more.

To RSVP for one of these events, please call my office at (302) 691-7333, toll free at (877) 899-7872, or email Albert.Shields@mail.house.gov.

I hope you'll be able to join me to learn more about smart financial decision-making and protecting your hard-earned money.

Sincerely,

John Carney
